    What's your weather like 2026

    Very overcast but feels milder than the temperature because there is no wind. The greenhouse fitters say they almost certainly won't be working tomorrow with the forecast that we have. :sad:

    I am going with some sort of Cotyledon orbiculata but I already have one of these and the leaf shape is the same but grey leaved with a floury surface. More digging needed I think!!
